Rubbish quality
Almost impossible to tune - it's very touchy. Once you get it working, the receiver warms up and then starts cutting out every 5 to 10 seconds or so.
After some examination, I found the problem. The 5v regulator inside the receiver overheats and cuts out. There is no room to install a heatsink on it, therefore the only option was to remove it, and then make some modifications so that an external 5v power source could be connected. Note that you still need to provide the original 12v power as well, as the internal circuitry requires both 5v and 12v to operate.
In short, you will need to heavily modify the receiver if you want stable operation.

Absolute garbage.
Had this fridge now for 6 months. When I got it, nothing was getting cold, so I put a thermometer inside on the top shelf. During summer, with the fridge on it's highest setting and the compressor running nearly continuously, the temperature inside the fridge never got below 7 degrees celcius - while the outside of the fridge was too hot to touch.
Items at the front of the fridge don't get cold, while anything against the back wall gets frozen.
Overall, these fridges are absolute garbage and in my opinion, they should be banned.

Well worth the money
Before purchasing this item, I did my research. Every review was positive, but I did find one video on YouTube where the owner didn't have such a great experience.
This unit, like all DBX compressors, has brilliant performance. It is very easy to setup and use, and has all the connection options that you would ever need - 1/4" balanced/unbalanced, XLR balanced, PLUS 1/4" TRS inserts - something which is missing on most other brands. The displays are also very responsive, with no delay at all.
Although I don't agree with what the gentleman says in his video about avoiding the product, I do believe that if you are considering buying one of these units, that like anything else, it is possible that you may have issues with it. The plus side in this instance, is that someone has taken the time to explain what the issue is and how easy it is to fix - if you don't mind opening the unit up and doing a little soldering. (It's simply a matter of removing a header and soldering a ribbon cable directly to the display board.)
It should also be noted that what the gentleman calls cheap manufacturing in his video, is in fact standard practice which is used in nearly all electronics these days. So I advise that that you disregard his constant negative comments, and focus only on what the problem is, and what is required to fix it. You can then make up your own mind.
Anyway, this unit is the industry standard, and like all DBX products that I have owned over the years, I haven't had any problem with it. But if you do want to check out the video before buying, simply search for "DBX 266xs broken" on YouTube, and it will probably be the first result. If you are unlucky enough to experience those same symptoms, then at least you will know what the likely cause is, and more importantly, what's involved in fixing it.
